Obi has some sort of infestation (not sure if it's lice or fleas) and I bathed him with Johnsons Flea Shampoo yesterday but it doesn't seem to have helped much as he is still scratching like mad. I've been trying to comb him through with a nit comb but there is so much fur that in order to ensure I've got everything I'm afraid I might have to scalp him! 
Can anyone offer any recommendations on a good treatment? He is not allowed to have the normal Advocate (or similar) treatment whilst on his medication so that is not an option. Any natural options or treatments not as severe as Advocate/Frontline??
I'm unsure if they are fleas or dog lice but by co-oncidence my son caught head lice at the end of term and I treated him, myself and my daughter. I didn't treat Obi as I'd read that human head lice can't live on dog fur because it's too coarse. Perhaps that's wrong with cockapoo fur because it's so soft?
